California lieutenant governor’s race: Eleni Kounalakis vs. Angela Underwood Jacobs
If reelected in November, Kounalakis said she would continue to sponsor legislation and work behind the scenes to get policies she believes in over any political hurdles, including a push to make college in California “more accessible and more affordable.”
Though Kounalakis has been in lockstep with Newsom, calling their partnership “one of the most positive in generations,” Underwood Jacobs has criticized him as part of her election campaign, warning against a “one-party rule in Sacramento.”administered by the San Diego Union-Tribune, Underwood Jacobs said that the lieutenant governor should act as a counter to the governor.
Underwood Jacobs, a deputy mayor for the Los Angeles County city of Lancaster, where she has also served as a City Council member, did not respond to multiple requests for an interview with The Times.
